deep into the Judean desert to the legendary fortress of Masada,

of Israeli intelligence begin to converge on him to deflect his

beautiful Israeli archaeologist, he struggles to bring to light the
treasures he believes are concealed in the mountain, unaware that
there is a dangerous contemporary secret at stake. P.T.

They call it "Wet Eye": a biological weapon that literally eats out
the eyes of its victims. Now, deep within the belly of the U.S.
military establishment, one small silver canister of Wet Eye is
missing-lost because a career pencil-pusher has cut a
million-dollar deal and signed it in blood.
For David Stafford, a Defense Department investigator, finding the
missing canister means ripping through layers of cover-ups,
bureaucracy, and one man's murderous determination to sell Wet Eye
to an international arms dealer. But the military would rather
silence Stafford than admit to a security breach. And now, the only
person who can stop a biological conflagration is an innocent
child-who has looked into the face of evil, and seen it with her
own two eyes...
P.T. Deutermann's World War II navy series began with the
award-winning "Pacific Glory," followed by the brilliantly reviewed
"Ghosts of Bungo Suido." His new novel "Sentinels of Fire" tells
the tale of a lone destroyer, the "USS Malloy," part of the Allied
invasion forces attacking the island of Okinawa and the Japanese
home islands.
By the spring of 1945, the once mighty Japanese fleet has been
virtually destroyed, leaving Japan open to invasion. The Japanese
react by dispatching hundreds of suicide bombers against the Allied
fleet surrounding Okinawa. By mid-May, the Allied fleet is losing a
major ship a day to murderous swarms of kamikazes streaming out of
Formosa and southern Japan. The radar picket line is the first
defense and early warning against these hellish formations, but the
Japanese direct special attention to these lone destroyers
stationed north and west of Okinawa.
One destroyer, the "USS Malloy," faces an even more pressing
issue when her Executive Officer Connie Miles begins to realize
that the ship's much-admired Captain Pudge Tallmadge is losing his
mind under the relentless pressure of the attacks. Set against the
blazing gun battles created by the last desperate offensive of the
Japanese, Executive Officer Miles and the ship's officers grapple
with the consequences of losing their skipper's guidance--and
perhaps the ship itself and everyone on board.
Vividly authentic, historically accurate, and emotionally
compelling, "Sentinels of Fire" is military adventure at its best,
by an author whose career as a Navy captain informs every page.
